There are two triangles: a small one to the left and a big one, which includes the small one. They both have a common angle (the leftmost angle) and since (we can assume) the two columns meet the floor at right angles, they both have two equal angles. This means they are similar (AAA).

Let the distance of the base of the stairs to the tallest column be d.

Because matching sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio,
4 / 6 = d / (6 + 12)
4 / 6 = d / 18
(4 * 18) / 6 = d
d = 12

The answer is C

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: 10 t -0.5 t is the total cost of the ticket for the group of 10 people after getting discount.

Where 10 t is the initial cost of ticket without discount and 0.5 t is the total discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, t represents the cost of one ticket.

Therefore, For 10 person the cost of the ticket = 10 t

And, According to the question, there is a discount of 5% percent per ticket if a group buys 10 tickets.

Thus, the discount for the group of ten people = 5% of 10 t = 0.5 t

The the total cost for the group of ten people after getting the discount = 10 t - 0.5 t

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

Sum of five and 8 times a number: 8x + 5

Fifty plus one half of the number: 50 + (1/2)x

8x+5=50+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\8x+5-5=50+\frac{1}{2}x-5\\\\8x=45+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\8x-\frac{1}{2}x=45\\\\\frac{16x}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x=45\\\\\frac{16x-x}{2}=45\\\\\frac{15x}{2}=45\\\\x=45*\frac{2}{15}\\\\x=3*2\\\\x=6
